Kraus and Prof. William B. Willcox received the Henry Russel awards annually presented to fac- ulty members who have distinguished themselves in the field of research- yesterday in Rackham Amphitheater. The Henry Russel Lectureship, awarded each year to the member of the faculty above the rank of assistant professor whose work is judged outstanding by the University Research Club, was delivered by Dr. Kraus Prof. Willcox, assistant professor in the history department, was presented the Henry Russel Award. He has recently written "Glouces- tershre, a Study in Local Govern- ment,15~0 0 X840' Dr. Kraus, who4announced the award to Prof. Willcox, was hon- bred with the Lectureship for his outstanding research in the field of crystallography. Dr. -Kraus. deliv- ered the main address. "The advance in our knowledge of crystale' and the crystalline state during the last 50 years has brought about a marked change in the con- ception of a crystal," Dr. Kraus said in tracing the development of the study of crystals in the past half century. It is now recognized that the crys- tal faces are the expression of the orderly internal arrangement of the particles making up the crystal and that in non-crystalline solids the' arrangement is not orderly, Dr. Kraus added. "Today scientists are not as much concerned with the external aspects of crystallized substances as fermerly, and, hence, the fol- lowing definition meets their re- quirements, namely, a crystal is a solid whose component atoms are arranged in a definite three di- mensional pattern," he continued. Prof. Lewis S. Ramsdell of the mineralogy department and his as- sociates did important pioneer work in developing methods to grow larger crystals, and today single laboratory- made crystals weighing up to 35 pounds are now available, Dr. Kraus pointed out. Prof. Willcox graduated from Cornell in 1928 and later studied at both Cambridge and Yale. He taught history at Williams College for five years before coming here in 1941. A student of English his- tory, Prof. Willcox traveled exten- sively in Europe before the war and maintained a residence in England for a short time. According to President Alexander G. Ruthven, Prof. Willcox's present researches among the Clinton papers in the Clements Library promise to yield results of major importance for military history and the history of the American Revolution.

S. Aircraft Carrier Franklin and set off one of this war's great episodes of heroic action. In the next 10 hours almost 100 tons of explosives and many thousands of gallons of aviation gasoline were fired and shook the carrier as she steamed out of control straight for Japan. She suffered between 1,000 and 1,200 casualties or more than one-third 'of her men, and she was attacked five more times by Nip dive bombers atteipting to "finish off the crip- > " , U. S. S.

BUY A TAG TODAY: -91 'U' oa8o $,00 WilPrvd 'H-Poealthful Suammer'for-Cili.dren Students and townspeople will be asked to help' send a boy to the University Fresh Air Camp today1 when co-eds from 28 homes take over posts throughout the campus and downtown areas to sell tags. The sale of tags to aid boys in ad- justing to their personal problems away from the tension of their every- day life is a 25 year University tra- dition. The goal this year, accord- ing to Prof. F. N. Menefee, directorI of the camp, has been set at $1.800. Local Stores Solicited Jean Gaffney, '46, assisted by Alice' Miller, '47, and Barbara Raymar, '47, have been soliciting local stores for contributions to the drive, and organized student groups have also been asked to contribute. In addition to giving a youngster a pleasant and healthful summer lead- ing tq better adjustment to his sur- roundings when he returns home, the camp also offers the university stu- dent valuable experience in dealing with group and individual behavior characteristics, Prof. Menefee point- ed out. The forty counselors who supervise recreational activities at the camp are chosen from among qualified graduates and undergrad- uates at the University. For the work they receive a maximum of six hours credit for special courses in the sociology department, and the School of Education. Students Act as Counselors Students acting as counselors spend half of the eight week session in classroom work and the remain- ing four weeks in practical applica- ion of the principles learned, Each counselor acts as supervisor for a cabin group composed of eight to ten boys in the 9 to 13 age group. Located on Patterson Lake, 24 miles northwest; of Ann Arbor, the camp's 300 acres can accommodate 240 boys, sent to it by 25 social agen- cies.

"The work of the veterans in soli- citing bond sales through the faculty has been particularly fine this week," R. Gordon Griffith, director of cam- pus sales, declared yesterday. "It seems that every few minutes an- other veteran races in with more war bond purchases," he said.

Third naval district officials said she had lost a greater number of men and sustained 'more battle damage than any ship ever to en- ter New York harbor under her own power.

The flight deck was charred from bow to stern. The Franklin's planes were on the flight deck, loaded with bombs and gas for takeoffs. The Japanese plane came out of the cloud so fast he escaped the Franklin's guns and drop- ped a bomb that pierced the top deck and exploded below. "We were heavily loaded with bombs, torpedoes and fighter rockets and flames shot almost immediately from the hangar deck and enveloped the whole forward flight deck," said Captain Gehres. "There was another big explosion and I saw we were hit amidships and two or three minutes later the bombs and gasoline tanks of the planes on the flight deck began exploding." From then until almost mid-after- noon there was one explosion after See FRANKLIN, Page 2 Services Will Be Held for' Jfudge Sample Funeral services for Circuit Judge George W. Sample who died Wed- nesday night, will be held at 2 p.m. EWT (1 p m. CWT) tomorrow at the first Methodist Church with Dr. Marshall Reed and Rev. Ralph Dun- lop officiating. Burial will be in the forest ill Cemetery. Judge Sample, 76 years old, pre- sided over the Washtenaw County Circuit Court since 1918.

Pollock of the politi- cal science department yesterday said that the proposed World Security organization must be in a pre-emi- nent position over all regional ar- rangements if it is to be successful as a weapon of collective security. Prof. Pollock, in opening the forum on "San Francisco Confer- ence- World Organization and Peace," held last night at Patten- gill Auditorium, outlined the sev- eral phases of Conference discus- sion and concluded optimistically, that "we will get a start on world organization and will do better than last time." The second speaker of the eve- ning, Prof Mentor Williams of the English department said that "Rus- 'ia will keep the peace if Great Bri- tain and the United States rdo not ,ry to isolate her politically by set- ing buffer and barrier states, with 'deologically different political sys- tems than hers. She will keep the ?eace," he continued, "if we do not .ttempt to set up regional and hem- isphericsblocs, which, in effect, would rilow us to interfere in Europe but xrevent her from doing so, giving 1ussia no other choice than to form in Asiatic bloc. One and a half bil- lion Indians, Chinese and Russians vying against a half billion Ameri- ans is something I do not like to ,hink about." Prof. Williams cited Russia's re- 'eated attempts at collective secur- ty, disarmament and the imposition of economic sanctions and her own ational aims as indications of her lesire to maintain peace. Dr. Frank L. Huntley, Area In- structor in the Civil Affairs Train- ing School, held that racial under- standing in the Pacific and in the United States, and adherence to a historical perspective are prereqaU- site to peace in the Pacific. While we must strip Japan of her empire and control her heavy industry, we must give her some access to raw materials and to markets if we are not to starve a large portion of Japan's popula- tion. "The Japanese have the force to regenerate themselves as an in- dustrious, self-respecting, capable people," he said, "and take a posi- tion in the world much like that of Norway," Prof. Harold Dorr of the political >cience department was chairman of the forum, which was sponsored by the Ann Arbor Adult Education Council. Danyal Kerven of Turkey and Hua Lin of China, graduate students in engineering, also partici- pated in the discussions. New Officers Elected x.
